About Me

So a little introduction to myself.

Josephine (Jo). 

I am Yorkshire born and bred and found myself getting into the shooting world in 2017,  just literally having a go at something new and different. 

Well I loved it! Then there was not a lot of ladies shooting but I made some great friends from attending ladies events and still travel all over the country shooting. 

​

In 2020 I passed my Loaders course and in 2022 I passed my Safety Officer course. Then in Autumn 2022 Shooting Coach course covering Clay and Game. 

I’ll always remember one of my first lessons as a total novice, I had an awful instructor that would shout and swear at me. I could have easily given up then, but I didn’t. I changed instructors and continued to grow with the sport. This is why I have pushed on to become an instructor, if I can do my bit to introduce more people to the sport and insure this doesn’t happen to anyone else, then I have done my job correctly!

In 2023 I received a ’Special Presentation’ award from BASC acknowledging my hardwork and bringing diversity into the shooting world, showing this is a sport for everyone! - I pride myself in that this is for everyone, no matter gender, colour or disability shooting does work for everyone. 

Now it’s 2024 and I continue to support people within the sport, help improve their shooting, build confidence and introduce more people into the sport. 

​

For younger clients I teach from the age of eight years old, I have all the correct equipment to help introduce them into the sport and also DBS checked.

I am fortunate to work for myself and have access to use a several shooting grounds for my lessons which covers areas of Yorkshire and into Lancashire.
